If JMM doesnt age overnight then JMM stops Bradley in 9-10 rounds, if he does then its a coin toss on the decision. Althought the Welterweight division is looking good right about now Timothy Bradley - WBO Devon Alexander / Kell Brook - IBF Malignaggi / Broner - WBA Guerrero / Mayweather - WBC Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez still in the mix Kieth Thurman, Ruslan Provodnikov, Kevin Bizier abd Marcos Maidana as solid contenders and Jessie Vargas, Victor Ortiz, Andre Berto, Josesito Lopez are still kicking about Also the 140 fighters - Rios, Garcia, Khan, Matthysse, Peterson, Alvarado and 154 - Canelo, Trout, Smith, Lara, Matiroysan Were packed with fights! imagine : Marcos Maidana V Ruslan Provodnikov Juan Manuel Marquez V Adrien Broner Kieth Thurman V Devon Alexander / Kell Brook Mayweather V Canelo/Trout Well you get the idea
Saying Bradley was trying to be entertaining tonight is ******ed (but then again, your past post history proves that.) He underestimated Ruslan, was handed a guy he thought would be a can, and treated him as such. He thought he could beat him up inside or keep him away with his pillow fists the whole fight. Neither was true. And Ruslan almost knocked him out. He was robbed of a KD in round 1, could have easily been called for an extra knockdown or two in round 12 when he fell back into the ropes (would have went down without them.) 114-113 Ruslan (should have been 114-112.) The referee also broke Ruslan off him several times in the 12th when Tim was in trouble. Face it, all the bogus Bradley hype that started after the Pacquiao fight (of which you're one of the .01% of the universe that tried to argue he legitimately won, thus showcasing your utter ******ation to the rest of the board) was imploded tonight. He needed dubious officiating to get a win over an unranked 140 pounder at 147. His reign with that stolen strap is history the second he fights a legitimate 147 pound contender/leaves Top Rank. Bradley is quite hittable. A faded Pacquiao easily outboxed him, and now Pac's sparring partner almost KO'd him. What do you think the new and improved, bulked-up Marquez would do with that massive chrome dome? It'd be target practice for a man of JMM's skills and newfound power.
I agree. Ruslan hurt Bradley and led to him tiring. He underestimated this dude. At first I had questions on whether Marquez could beat Bradley because of his age but I think he school him.
The biggest key to a Marquez victory is the fact Bradley punches low, not at shoulder level. He'd give JMM problems with his jab early, but eventually Marquez would figure out what feints to use to open him up and get his shots through. Most notable would be Bradley's low left hand as he brings back his jab. It's the reason Ruslan was able to time that looping right so often from the outside. The last time Marquez fought an aggressive boxer-type with speed and average power who didn't jab at shoulder level, well... This content is protected
Timmy is screwed because even if he asks for doping tests, MEMO said he had undetectable steroids. If Tim loves his family and his life, he needs to avoid this roided 40 year old machine lol. Memo runs usada, no point.
I'd hate to see Bradley lose i love both fighters but Jmm is smarter and better than he at this stage. Bradley deserves the spotlight
You know what, I never viewed it as a feint, I saw it as a draw back to land something better and took advantage of Diaz's reaction. But looking back at it, it might have been a ploy to get Diaz to stand straight up for that 1-2-uppercut between the guard.
oh please dont!!! if that fight ever happens bradley if getting knock the **** out!!! hope pacquiao get he title back before someone else do it -_-
Wtf am I the only one who thinks Bradley would pull through? We've all seen how Marquez performs against counterpunchers. JMM vs Bradley would be another JMM vs John or JMM vs Floyd... a snooze-fest. Bradley UD 12.
He dominated Gainer and was the first to stop Casamayor. Not all counter-punchers are the same and Bradley certainly lacks the advantages Floyd had. Bradley poses stylistic issues on his own but pointing at the Floyd fight as evidence that it's a foregone conclusion makes little sense.
